Because not every timepiece has to be
foreboding and serious, Denis Guidone's watches play with the
traditional expectation of what a
timepiece should be. Designed in collaboration with Italian product
brand Nava Design, his four contributions–the Ora, Ora Lattea, Ora
Unica, and
Tempo Libero–all feature unique design cues, signaling (sometimes with
the use of traditional hands) what the time is. The Ora
Lattea uses dots, placed where a traditional hand would usually be.
The hands are represented by 2
points.
Somewhat recalling the image of the solar system, the biggest dot
represents the hour and the smallest dot represents the minutes. The
dot in the center remains fixed.
